Game: This or That

[Miss Darcy]

CD's....but for video DVD's (I despise VCD's, the quality is almost worse than that of a video)

Time or no time? (inspired by chmpman's avatar, of course ;))

[mono]

No time - not working on a schedule sounds so much easier, but potentially chaotic. :p

Coffee or tea?

[imthefoolonthehill]

coffee

lemonade or limeade

[shortysweetp]

limeade

cherry coke or vanilla coke?

[Bianca Fransen]

Hmm.. difficult.. Vanilla coke.

Contact lenses or glasses?

[AimusSage]

Sun glasses. Don't need glasses. Does that count?

Being or doing?

[mono]

Being, then doing; existence precedes everything.

Ridiculously large vehicle or ridiculously small vehicle?

[chmpman]

Ridiculously small. Conserves gas and shouldn't create a rumor of me trying to compensate for something.

Simpsons or Family Guy (inspired by an article in Blender)

[shortysweetp]

neither. i dislike both but if i had to choose i guess simpsons

packing or unpacking?

[mono]

Probably packing; then I get the chance to review through things I have not looked at for some time, and I always have fun going through my old, nostalgic things. Unpacking requires organization - something I lack. :D

Mattress bed or futon?

[Taliesin]

Mattress bed

foggy islands or desert?

[amuse]

foggy islands

headache or backache?

[AimusSage]

Headache

Heaven or Hell?

[Aramis]

Heaven.

Fire or Water?

[shortysweetp]

water

doing the dishes or the laundry?

[Bianca Fransen]

Doing the dishes.

Country music or opera?

[mono]

I love most opera, so I would easily have to choose that.

The lesser of two evils: the sound of a poorly tuned violin -- or -- the sound of fingernails scratching a chalkboard?

[Taliesin]

Poorly tuned violin. It can be called (modern) music (well, not really modern, but avant garde still, perhaps expressionism?) whereas nails are infamous and have also a psychological fear effect.


Supposing you had to play DD, would you rather play in Dark Sun or Forgotten Realms?
FR is a world where there are many sorts of terrain, people adventure out of fun or to earn a little cash, life is quite easy, lot of heroes, a happy world and very common and powerful magic.

Dark Sun is a grim desert world where oasis cities are being ruled by sorcerer-kings who are practically gods in their cities and their templar servants who can do anything they like in the cities (i.e if a templar is in a bad mood then he can out of blue chop ypur head off) The power system is corrupt. DS is also a low-tech and low-magic world. Tools are made of bone and wood, metal is rare. Wizards are thought of as witches in Middle Age - if they find out, then they'll be probably burned or killed in other painful ways. The main goal is usually to stay alive.

[mono]

Hmmm, I think Dark Sun sounds more interesting, from what you described.

Loss of memory -- or -- loss of sense (touch, taste, smell, hear, sight)?

[Aramis]

Loss of one of the senses, preferably smell.

(Taliesin- interesting question. I only knew FR from the books I've read. I didn't know it was a roleplaying game, too.)

Would you rather know your own future and not be able to affect it or know someone else's future and not be able to tell them?

[mono]

Probably to know someone else's future, but not tell them; I would never desire to end up like Oedipus. :eek:

Lots of good food with nothing to drink -- or -- nothing to eat with lots of good drinks?

[NEDJ293]

nothing to eat with lots of good drinks

Would you rather die burned or drowned?

[Adelheid]

cake :D

swim or fish?

[mono]

Swim, I think.

Green tea or black tea?

[Adelheid]

Green tea- i don't drink caffeinated drinks, i can't sleep otherwise. ;)

teach or learn?

[mono]

Cannot one do both, even simultaneously? I once heard a statistic that one more thoroughly learns 90-95% of what he/she teaches.

Cooking for others -- or -- others cooking for you?

[Bianca Fransen]

Learn, definitely.. My knowledge is too much scattered to teach anyone anything ;) And learning is always cool :cool:

Lots of books or lots of CD's?

[Loki]

Lots of...er...books? Others cooking for me.

Wine or water? :D

[Adelheid]

water...

Eat or Drink? ;)

[mono]

Drink (especially while craving coffee at the moment).

Having too much to do (overwhelmed) -- or -- having too little to do (boredom)?

[AimusSage]

to much to do, boredom makes me think to much which isn't a good thing.

honour or honor?

[Loki]

Honour for ever. ;)

Nabucco or Aida?

[mono]

Nabucco, definitely.

Vincent van Gogh or Paul Gauguin?

[AimusSage]

Vincent van Gogh, A fellow dutch.

Black Sabbath or Deep Purple?

[Loki]

Black Sabbath.

Aimus or Sage? ;)

[Adelheid]

Aimus. :D

Trick or trickster? :lol:

[Loki]

One trick is good enough...But I'll say trickster, because a trickster can provide more tricks. :D

Piano or pianist? :p

[AimusSage]

Piano, so I can learn how to be a pianist.

Car or bike?

[mono]

Bike - I love bicycling, especially with all of the nice, scenic routes in this area. :)

Tricycle or unicycle?

[papayahed]

Tricycle, I'm not that coordinated.

motorcycle or car?

[mono]

The motorcycle sounds more fun, but I do not think I could ride one all of the time, for safety reasons, so car.

Comedy or tragedy?

[adilyoussef]

Tragedy

Dreams or reality?

[Adelheid]

reality or course! Who wants to stay in the land of dreams, where one always has the inevitable facing of reality when dreams fade away?

dictionary or thesaurus? :lol:

[mono]

Usually dictionary, since a thesaurus can sometimes seem more vague.

In a conversation: speak a lot -- or -- listen a lot?

[adilyoussef]

Rather listen then speak. I don't like talking a lot.

Would you like to work in group or individually?

[AimusSage]

If the group consists of willing and able people, I prefer working in a group, albeit as the 'leader.' Unfortunately this is rarely the case in my life, and I find myself spending most time shaping the team into a workable entity, and by the time it starts functioning, the project is over (most projects I am in for school only last a few weeks). I find that I often work faster, more indept and generally more effecient individually.

on a date: good restaurant or the movies?

[Aramis]

Movies.

Would you rather have one good friend or a crowd of acquaintances?

[adilyoussef]

I prefer the company of one frind than a a lot. At least you are sure that there is a person who will listen carfully.

Suposing that you have a job and a good career, would you get married as soon as possible or not?

[AimusSage]

No, to me marriage feels like an outdated concept.

Bicycle or car?

[detays]

car....

big or small :D :D

[ESHQUIA]

big :)
drunk or sober? :p

[detays]

drunk... ahhh.. i want to drink RAKI :D

[Adelheid]

rest or work?

[Loki]

At the moment...rest. It's been a tiring day. :D

Golf or cricket?

[Adelheid]

Believe or doubt?

[Loki]

Hum. Depends on what. Believe in most cases, doubt in many more. :p

Visible or invisible?

[Adelheid]

visible.

msn or yahoo or aol? :D (this is an exception, K?)

[Loki]

Unruly and angelic-faced. That sort has a good sense of humour. :D

Hot or mild? (as in food)

[Nightshade]

Summer or spring??

[Miss Darcy]

Spring.
La Primavera. :D

Autumn or winter...?

[adilyoussef]

Neither but I'll say winter

alone or in company?

[mono]

It depends on my mood; I enjoy the presence of others, but usually prefer a lot of solitude and independence.

Center of attention -- or -- by-stander?

[adilyoussef]

I like to be in the shadow rather in the center of attention. I'm rather an observer.

To write or to read?

[Adelheid]

read.

wash or dry dishes?

[mono]

Wash, definitely. The feeling of very dry, glass dishes gives me goosebumps, as does scratching on a chalkboard for others. :eek2:

Hyacinths or Baby's Breath?
(flowers)

[Adelheid]

Hyacinths, although I don't exactly remember how they both look like... ;)

Answer or reply? :D

[Nightshade]

Answer oral, reply written.

Coral reef or coral Draw?

[adilyoussef]

Neither

Take care of people or being taken care of?

[mono]

Definitely take care of people; I often feel horrible relying on others, unless absolutely needed.

[Nightshade]

ohh Blizzard if prepared for (so noone starves/freezes to death) hail hurts!!

[Believer]

Dinner

Run or Stay?


http://filehost.to/files/2005-08-25_02/144915_literaturebeliever.jpg

[dejosc]

Run always cause if you run what bad can happen, you just have to run fast enough

scream or shout?

[Believer]

scream

speak or shut up?


http://filehost.to/files/2005-08-25_02/144915_literaturebeliever.jpg

[dejosc]

speak, always say what you feel(this is when my previous choice of RUN comes into play)


Punch or Kick

[Believer]

Kick, it's nicer...

Fallower or leader?


http://filehost.to/files/2005-08-25_02/144915_literaturebeliever.jpg

[dejosc]

depends on the siyuation but id like to say leader but then again i mix into both sometimes i follow sometimes i lead.

Religion or Atheism?

[Ryan Dollard]

Atheism - that's where it's at and you'd better believe it.

Firing squad or gas chamber?

[adilyoussef]

Neither

Looking at people's eyes when talkin to them or at another part of the body?

[Ryan Dollard]

The eyes.

Go to the toilet or just remain at the computer and wait for the pain to go away by itself?

[adilyoussef]

The hell I can't wait. Go to the toilet.

If you are really depressed. Talk to spmebody or come over it alone?

[Ryan Dollard]

Talk to a psychiatrist in front of a live television studio audience.

Obese or anorexic?

[Loki]

Anorexic.

[Nightshade]

Greeeeen my faviorite colour in the whole world. Mind you I dont apreciate the western conotation of the color as jealousy much prefer the arab conotation of Good.:)

Night or day? (I wonder if you notice that if you pick Night you pick me?!;))

[Miss Darcy]

Uh, hard question. I generally prefer day - nice and optimistic. But night always has a special atmosphere to it that day can never have...the land is clothed in moonlight...

How about twilight? :D

Smiling or laughing?

[Nightshade]

how about smiling while laughing??

Death by suffocation or drowning?

[Schokokeks]

drowning - at least then you might get the feeling your body's adjusting to a new element then...not that I'd know for sure :D

chocolate or vanilla?

[mono]

Mmm, chocolate. :D

Piano or harpsichord?

[dejosc]

Harpsichord - its got a cooler name

Maths or Science?

[Bongitybongbong]

.........maths by a hair

runescape or world of warcraft

[Ryan Dollard]

I'm not familiar with either title but I guess they must be computer games. I'm going to go for "World of Warcraft" because the more dragon-T-shirted white men we can isolate and contain within a virtual "world", the better.

Do you think you're good-looking?

[Ryan Dollard]

Hang on, no - wrong thread. Had my legs in the wrong pant-holes there. Continue with: cricket or croquet?

[dejosc]

cricket though id prefer rugby you get to sneakily kick people when your playing

hot or cold?

[Ryan Dollard]

I learned from a television programme that if you put one hand in hot water and the other in cold water, left them there a while, and then put both in lukewarm water, you're like "woah, that's ho- no, wait, that's cold... or... no hang on it's... oh fudge I think I'm going insane". I would so totally go for that: hot AND cold... and then lukewarm! That would be ultra.

Anyway, to the next person: please or sorry?

[Scheherazade]

Please as a 'please' at the right time might prevent a 'sorry' later on.

Kebabs or pizza (for dinner)?

[Schokokeks]

Pizza!! For one, you have a great range to choose between different types of pizza, such as the cheesy ones, the unhealthy ones :D, the full-loaded ones,...and furthermore, they are not that difficult to eat without making a mess all over yourself as kebabs are (at least these are my experiences...:D)

bonfire or fire indoors?

[dejosc]

Bonfire(i reckon you find kebabs hard to eat cause youre usually drunk when your eating them)

feet or hands?

[mono]

I value both hands and feet, but probably utilize my hands more frequently.

Short fingernails or long fingernails?

[shortysweetp]

right now they are long but i am going to cut them because they always end up getting broke or i somehow scratch my daughter plus they get in the way of typing

[Bongitybongbong]

stats

"Engage"--Jean Luc Picard

[Aurora Ariel]

...cake(I like vanilla,lemon,passionfruit or orange cake)

Soft drink or juice?

[adilyoussef]

Juice

Imagine that you'r an animal: the hunter or the prey?

[Loki]

Ahm, hard question. I wouldn't like killing others for food (but then I guess if I was born a, say, tiger or something it would seem quite natural...) but then again I wouldn't particularly like being hunted, either. Well...prey, I guess, if I get killed then maybe with the help of reincarnation I can get to be a vego human again. :D

Cat or dog?

[adilyoussef]

Cat are animals that live inside the house and injoy there all sorts of pleasures and comfort. But there are some that are homeless and I don't like to be so. As for cat's, it's the same thing for dogs. But the difference is that dogs are animals that you can trust not like the deceitfull cats.

My answer is a dog.

If you are asked to write about something, whatever it might be: use your imagination and make it looks pleasent or state the facts as they are although it might be what others may not expect to read?

[Ryan Dollard]

tell it like it is.

too young or too old?

[mono]

Too young, experience life, then get too old. :D

Feather-bed or water-bed?

[Ryan Dollard]

A water-bed egregiously overfilled with Tango. Throw a porcupine into the mixer and you've got the taste of the whole fruit.

Shoot, or allow to cross the border?

[Adelheid]

Allow to cross. :D

Peace or War?

[amuse]

peace

death by hemlock or asp?

[mono]

If I had to die in one of those ways, I would choose hemlock, knowing that I would leave the world the same way a mind I will never compare to did - Socrates.
Plus, dying of a snakebite just sounds horrible. :D

Opera or musical?

[dejosc]

neither far to dull for me but if forced to make a choice whichever was shorter actually probably a musical as i once enjoyed on of them.

Google or Yahoo

[Monica]

opera (althoug I'm not too fond of either of them)

holidays in the mountains or at the seaside?

[Monica]

I'm too slow. Again :)

Google

[dejosc]

unlucky i spent ages on my reply

mountains moer interesting that the seaside

Stick or Twist

[adilyoussef]

Stick

[Bongitybongbong]

...Black Mage


Snowflakes or rainbows?

[mono]

Probably snowflakes - any kind of snow often puts me in a better mood than any other type of weather. ;)

Lost short-term memory -- or -- lost long-term memory?

[adilyoussef]

I'd prefer neither. Urged to make a choise, I'd choose short-term one.

Money without love or love without money?

[Aurora Ariel]

...Love without money


Autumn leaves or Spring Blossoms?

[adilyoussef]

Spring Blossoms

Employer or employee?

[samercury]

Employer

Reading or writing?

[shortysweetp]

reading

ladies night at the bar or family movie night at the student union?

[mono]

Probably the latter, family movie night at the student union, considering that I would probably receive some strange looks for attending ladies' night. :D

Washing the dishes -- or -- doing laundry?
(which to do first remains in my head, for now :p)

[shortysweetp]

start the laundry then do the dishes.
(oh and at ladies night beer was cheap for the guys too)

sleep in or get up and clean (we have company coming tomorrow eww I hate cleaning)

[Aurora Ariel]

...Sleep in(hopefully I will dream the mess goes away);)

[Adelheid]

Wild Brumby... whatever that means... ;)

Dog or Wolf?

[sir]

snoop dog

[Adelheid]

probably the first. :D

[Bongitybongbong]

dreadful

grace or intelligence

[avid_reader]

dreadful.

[mono]

I would like to do both, but end up spending more than I usually prefer. :p

[Nightshade]

ohh difficult choice, personally I like a good rhyme scheme if not at the end then in the middle at least :D

[adilyoussef]

Romantic

Sun or moon?

[Schokokeks]

sun! I'm night-blind :)

[adilyoussef]

1, 2, 3, .... The others are complex and long.


Rock or classic?

[Adelheid]

Classic! I can't stand rock music.... that drives me nuts. No wonder those who sing them seems nuts....

Beethoven or Mozart?

[Loki]

Both. Depending on my mood, of course...

Oak or birch?

[Adelheid]

Birch. Isn't that the slender tree?

Willow or Poplar? :D

[Loki]

The poplar is popular, but I choose willow. Isn't poplar the same thing as birch?

Yellow or white?

[adilyoussef]

White

Listen or speak?

[mono]

Listen, definitely. Unlike on the forum, I tend to seem a relatively quiet, sometimes introverted, person.

Desert or rain forest?

[adilyoussef]

Rain forest

Fast or slow?

[samercury]

fast
... going to a concert of a band you absolutely late (w/ a free ticket) or watching the concert of your favorite band on tv (both on the same day)

[Aurora Ariel]

...going to the concert late(as long as it was not too far away-because then it would not be worth it if you had missed more than half the show).


Melancholy or faux smiles?

[Loki]

Melancholy.

Eat to live or live to eat? :D

[adilyoussef]

Eat to live

Life after death or nothingness?

[Loki]

Depends on what sort of life....nothingness, I think, would be better. To be at one with the universe...*muses*

Aldous Huxley or Thomas Huxley?

[mono]

Aldous Huxley, mainly because I have read nothing by Thomas Huxley, despite recommendations. :p

Reflect about yesterday -- or -- anticipate tomorrow?

[Adelheid]

anticipate tomorrow. That's the best part about today. :D

music or book? :p

[sir]

the music of a book :p

making a big time compromise -or- losing your beloved one forever?

[Aurora Ariel]

....making a big time compromise(I would not want them to die!)

Penelope(Odyssey) or Queen Dido(Aeneid)?

[mono]

Penelope, definitely. Though Queen Dido seemed fascinating, Penelope seems one of my favorite characters in Greek literature.

A walk through a city with lots to see -- or -- a walk through a forest with, also, lots to see?

[adilyoussef]

A forest. I'm fed up with cevilisation.

To be the leader or a one member of your group of work?

[mono]

It really depends on what we intend to do together; if it regards a subject I know well, and seems a friendly group, then I can lead, but if I know relatively little compared to another, I will contribute not as a leader.

Dictionary -- or -- thesaurus?

[adilyoussef]

Dictionary

Cinema or theater?

[Nightshade]

ohh Theater I love the theater

Humm football(soccer) or tennis?

[Kaltrina]

tennis definitely, i don't understand football at all.

die alone, or marry someone for whom you feel no love only respect?

[Isagel]

Die alone.

Cadillac or Corvette?

[adilyoussef]

Cadillac

I like your question Kaltrina.


die alone, or marry someone for whom you feel no love only respect?
:goof:

[Aurora Ariel]

..die alone.I think it's ridiculous to marry someone if you don't love them.That's so irresponsible.I would never agree to a marriage of convenience.If your happy alone and wish to live in solitude well I can't see a problem with that, but I think it's just really stupid and naive to marry someone and commit yourself to someone you bearly even like!

Would you go around the world in a hot air balloon, to break a record, even if there was a risk that you would encounter a storm and bad weather along the way?

[mono]

It sounds interesting, but I would have to have more of a reason than breaking a record - perhaps, just for the sake of traveling.

Plan your day -- or -- maintain spontaneity through your day?

[adilyoussef]

Why boder myself by planing; just let it go. I like to wake up and have no purpose in mind. But in most time my days are schedualed.

Boys or girls?

[Aurora Ariel]

....hmm that's difficult to answer.Well, been a female myself I should probably say my fellow sex but boys interest me as well.I really like that many boys are not as fond of cruel gossip as some girls can typically be growing up.I think girls are more likely to engage in mental torture and boys in physical torture.Boy are traditionally more violent than girls, while the latter is good at petty things such as ignoring others and spreading nasty rumors.A think then that the ultimate being must be neither or like a femine male or a perfect androgynous being.So I pick neither...


Forest caves or icy igloos?

[mono]

the ultimate being must be neither or like a femine male or a perfect androgynous being.
I cannot agree more. This reminds me of that quote from Samuel Taylor Coleridge, that Virginia Woolf so loved, regarding that a truly great mind must seem androgynous (to cast away bias).

Anyway, back to the game . . .

Forest caves or icy igloos?
Forest caves, definitely, but, then again, I have never seen a real igloo. Forest caves (and desert caves), however, offer some of the most natural beauty around, in my opinion, often coated with ice.

For reading: a comfortable chair -- or -- a comfortable couch?

[Scheherazade]

A comfortable bed!!!! ;)

Mother or father?

[adilyoussef]

I love them both. But my mother has done a lot for me. She carried me almost 9 months and took care of me till I grew up and became a man. Mothers do a lot for there children and are always awake waiting for them returen home safe. My mother is above all human beings. I'm ready to do, as I always did, whatever she asks me to do.

Live in a small house or a big one?

[Kaltrina]

live in a small house, because small houses are cute, cozy, and easy to maintain...

swear someone when you are challenged or just ignore them...

[mono]

If someone angers me (which seems difficult to do), I usually just ignore them, as swearing or arguing with them may just evoke more trouble. If in an argument, and he/she strives so hard to make the conflict worse, I will merely let him/her "win;" there exist many more peaceful ways to settle a problem than by vehemently debating.

Mocha or latte?

[Aurora Ariel]

Latte(though I've now stopped drinking coffee-only have green tea:))


Aphrodite or Artemis?

[mono]

Yikes, tough one! In terms of what they rule, I cannot but feel in love with love (so I choose Aphrodite); yet, in terms of characters, I have always adored Artemis' character, seeming far less fickle, more devoted, and philosophical.

Apollo or Athena?

[Nocturnal]

cake!!

Dawn or Dusk?

[Monica]

dusk

would you prefer to learn Japanese or Chinese?

[Nocturnal]

Japanese.

I actually learnt a bit of Korean.

[Aurora Ariel]

Well, I 've learnt both but I prefer Chinese.

Prometheus or Zeus?


*Has anyone else read Prometheus Bound by Aeschylus or Prometheus Unbound By Shelley(which I was actually just reading a few nights ago)?
I also saw a performance of Prometheus Bound by Aeschylus a few months ago at university here.

[Aurora Ariel]

...To be(what just happened?before the last question was about the languages???!!;)....


same question.....Prometheus or Zeus?

[Nocturnal]

Prometheus :)

to answer you question, I didn't read any of them. I did read Aeschylus "Oresteia", a great tragedy. I wonder if I have Shelley's Prometheus Unbound on my Shelley compillation. Must check that out.

Frankenstein or The Modern Prometheus?

[Aurora Ariel]

....Frankenstein(but only because 1818-the year is was first published) is not considered to be "modern today";))

*You should difinately go and read Shelley's Prometheus Unbound if you have a copy there.It is a very personal piece of his.I was so moved by this work and it is universally considered to be Shelley's masterpiece.It can be an example of the regeneration of humanity through Love and Wisdom.It's in four acts and I especially like the part where Asia comes in Act I I(previously I had only read extracts from Asia-my soul is an enchanting boat, which like a sleeping swan doth float...) and is wanting to help and see Prometheus, her love, and where Domogorgon comes a little later from his cave.


Morpheus or Narcissus?

[Nocturnal]

Narcissus
for the important lesson on vanity.

*I just checked and I DO have Promotheus Unbound. Now that just made my day :)
I've never seen an Ancient Greek tragedy actually being performed, how was it?

Paradise Lost or Paradise Regained

[Loki]

Paradise Lost

Hmm, angel or archangel? :angel:

[Monica]

what's the difference? :) like bishop and archbishop?? then archangel :D

Smurfs or Popeye?

[Kaltrina]

smurfs definitely. the are so cute.

a house or a flat?

[mono]

For now, a flat (or apartment), as the idea of credit, equity, and the like, strangely makes me feel uneasy.

Leo Tolstoy or Fyodor Dostoevsky?

[Nocturnal]

Leo Tolstoy

War and Peace or Anna Karenina?

[Loki]

War and Peace

Peace or war?

[Nocturnal]

Peace

North or South?

East or West? :D

[Nightshade]

east I think

umm short or tall?

[Monica]

depends what, I guess

songs: recorded in studio or live versions??

[mono]

*edit* - answered wrong question! :D
I usually prefer the studio version of songs, hoping usually to see a band in concert myself.

Mathematics -- or -- physics? :brow:

[Monica]

hate both, but prefer mathematics. I get sick from physics :sick:

holidays on a desert in Africa or in icy Arctic??

[mono]

Yikes, tough one! I could never survive in either, but probably stand a better chance in the icy Arctic. :nod:

Living in an old, antique house -- or -- a brand new house?

[Nightshade]

An old house they have a feeel about them you know? Id say ghosts but I dont mean that I mean the ghost of emotion you know??


Owls or buzzerds?

[mono]

An old house they have a feeel about them you know? Id say ghosts but I dont mean that I mean the ghost of emotion you know??
I know exactly what you mean; most old houses have a character that one cannot find in most newer houses, without a ridiculous amount of customization.

Owls or buzzerds?
Owls, definitely.

[Loki]

Neither, please!!

Cherries or berries? :p

[Pensive]

writing style or novel's plot?
(I mean there are some novels in which plot/idea is beautiful but the author's style is not good. But what will you prefer. Do you think a good plot is more important than author's writing syle)

[Kaltrina]

definitely the writing style. the style can make me love the book or hate it. :D

getting wet with friend on a rainy hot day or having a picnic with friends on a dry sunny day.

[Loki]

Writing style. Though books with perfect writing style and no plot can be an endurance, books with a good plot but bad writing style are an even larger endurance.

Neverland or Wonderland? :D

[Nightshade]

Neverland wonderland was just plain scarry


Persuasion or Lady Susanna??

[Loki]

Persuasion, I guess...

Cyberspace or outer space?

[mono]

Outer space sounds much more worth exploring; cyber space has a great limit compared.

In this forum: general chat ar reading chat? :D

[mono]

Both for their own reasons: 'reading chat' seems more the reason why I joined the forum, for feeling passionate about literature, but 'general chat' just seems often amusing.

'Poems, Poets, and Poetry' section -- or -- 'Personal Poetry' section?

[Aurora Ariel]

Well, it really depends whether anyone has posted a new poem or not.If there is no new poems added, then I have to choose the other section, which I really like anyway.:)

One blue rose or a dozen red roses?

[Kaltrina]

one blue rose... I don't know if blue roses have any meaning but I like the colour, it's not usual for a rose... :p

reading by the fire on a cold night or reading in the balcony on a hot summer day?

[mono]

Reading by the fire on a cold night, as too warm of weather tends to distract me and make me uncomfortable.

Wuthering Heights -- or -- Jane Eyre? :brow:

[Basil]

Wide Sargasso Sea



Honest vice or false virtue?

[Aurora Ariel]

Honest Vice....as this reminds me of so called "virtuous public people" who have really been doing things behind others backs which are probably alot worse than some little honest vice, which is pretty insignificant anyway, when compared to what these other people are really up to.

Lamp. I love candlelight, but my eyes aren't what they used to be. Red or Blue?

[Aurora Ariel]

Blue..it's actually my favourite colour!:)

[Nightshade]

oh Pegasus I think definetly to fly.... Oh actually Ive suddenly remembered somthing I read in a book on Freud .....:eek:

In terms of beauty: Helen of Troy, of course; in terms of worthiness of help: Medusa, due to her depressing fate of getting turned into a Gorgon.
